Re: Scaling online tests

BTW, there is a comparison of Apache, Cherokee and Lighttpd in the latest Linux-Magazin (July 2007, German). P.82 "Apache Alternativen".

Unfortunately the benchmarking was limited to ab -c 10 -n 1000 URL, just the speed of delivery of files. For small files (1 kByte) Lighttpd leads with 4808 req/sec against 2941 req/sec for Apache. For bigger files, 30 kByte and higher, virtually no difference.
